Who ever heard of a 16:1 compression ratio?

I ran into this on YouTube and it kinda made sense.

Sounds like Mazda is on to something. My experience was 14:1 motors made great horsepower, but only for about 30 minutes. With computers and sensors today you can certainly control things better than the 80 y/o technology of S.U. carburetors and breaker point ignition.
